Upon OCBC Bank’s approval of the Application, whether in whole or in part, the amount approved (the “Approved Funds Transfer Facility Amount”) shall be credited into a Singapore dollar denominated bank account held by you with any banks or financial institutions in Singapore as specified in such Application and acceptable to us.
6. Upon approval of the Application by OCBC Bank, your Approved Limit shall be reduced by the Aggregate Instalment Amount (as defined below). Upon your payment of a Monthly Instalment Amount (as defined below), your reduced Approved Limit may, at the discretion of the Bank, be increased by such amount corresponding to the amount paid pursuant to such Monthly Instalment Amount.
Payment, Interest, Fees and Charges
7. A non-refundable processing fee (the “Processing Fee”), if applicable as stated in Application form, on the Approved Funds Transfer Facility Amount at a rate as determined by OCBC Bank at its discretion will be charged to and debited from
the Account specified in the Application (regardless whether the Facility is terminated at any time by yourself or OCBC Bank) for each successful Application.

The promotional interest rate applicable to your Facility application shall only apply to such Facility Amount and not to any other amounts (including without limitation any processing and/or other fees payable in connection with the Facility) outstanding in your EasiCredit Account. Such promotional rate(s) will expire at the end of the applicable promotional tenure. The prevailing rate applicable to your EasiCredit Account will apply thereafter.

10. The first Monthly Instalment Amount shall be charged to and debited from the Account when the Facility is approved by OCBC Bank. Each subsequent Monthly Instalment Amount will be debited on or about the same day in each following month, until the Aggregate Instalment Amounts have been completely debited to the Account.

Interest will not be charged on the Monthly Instalment Amount at the prevailing interest rate applicable to your EasiCredit Account provided that full payment of the Monthly Instalment Amount is made on or before the payment due date, and provided that if such payment is not made on or before such date, the prevailing interest rate shall apply to any unpaid Monthly Instalment Amount and all subsequent Monthly Instalment Amounts thereafter.

An administrative fee of S$100 or at such rate as OCBC Bank may determine may be imposed at the discretion of OCBC Bank if the Facility is terminated (whether arising from the termination of your Account or otherwise) or if a prepayment of any amount under the Facility is made. The administrative fee shall be charged to and debited from the Account.
